Hi all,

my goal is to align two slightly different categorization systems where
each categorized item can have multiple categories in one of these
systems.

E.g.:
Categorized item: "Harry Potter"
Category system 1: Fiction, Fantasy, Children
Category system 2: Youth, Fantasy
The alignment would then produce a similarity between "Fantasy" (used in
both systems) and "Children" (1) and Youth (2).

I *think* ItemSimilarity is what I want but if anyone can provide me
with the correct keywords for googling - that would be great.

If a Lucene/SOLR index is more efficient as source than the lists I have
I'm fine with setting that up. However, I am not sure how the schema
would have to be structured? Would it use the categorized items as
document entities - if not what then?

Any pointers where to start would be very much appreciated! Also the
information whether I need a full Hadoop installation or whether Mahout
as checked out from trunk is sufficient. It is not very much data
altogether (<10k categorized items).

Thanks!
Chantal
